Default Replacement Tires

If you have replaced the original tires that came with your SC please let me know what you went with and why?.

I am going to replace mine soon and wanted some real world experience from 430 owners.

Conventional vs Run Flat?
Different Speed Rating?
True All Season vs Summer?
Etc....

Thanks

Default Re:DropTops' Replacement Tires

After 21,000 miles on my Bridgestone RF (still another 5000 + of tread left), I decided to do a favor to my spine and get the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. My Lexus dealer is picking them up for me at Discount Tires ($265 per) and is mounting them... reattaching sensors, and putting in truck kit..... as we speak!!!. As a loyal Lexus customer, and a friend of the Service Manager, they are giving me 50% discount on the 'spare' trunk assembly. Let me get a few miles under my belt, and I'll get back to you....All relevant threads on this forum give the Michelins A+

I second the Pilot Sport A/S: conventional, Z-rated, all-season ultra-performance. I now have about 500 miles on them in narrowly variable weather (from ~40F & pouring rain to ~60F sunny), and the ride quality and comfort, ride quietness, and handling are all vastly improved over the Potenza runflats.
